Category Archives: Catch the Moment

2016 is a time to get back into photography. I have done the Catch the Moment in the past and haven’t completed it successfully. This year, I have decided to change up the challenge a bit for myself – mobile photos are allowed! Life happens, and some days I don’t grab my dSLR to capture the most perfect moment. So instead of setting myself up for failure on that one, I’ll be capturing the moment no matter where we are and with whatever camera I have handy. So let’s start off the year by catching up – Week one is below.

{Day 001 – January 01, 2016}

Kyle’s birthday is New Years Day, and as always, Lennox made him a cake. This year though, it was an easy bake oven cake! Kyle may have had to pretend it tasted good – but I’m pretty sure he really loved it, even funky taste and all!

{Day 002 – January 02, 2016}

Christmas may be over, and it may have been super hectic this year – but I had to capture the bright ornaments against a bright white tree.

{Day 003 – January 03, 2016}

Lennox has had a hard start to Kindergarten, unfortunately, but we are trying to keep up with all the work. She had lots of make up work to do over break, and we were trying to finish it up before school started again!

{Day 004 – January 04, 2016}

For Christmas I got a macro lens for my iPhone – this is one of the first photos I took with it. Pretty good for an iPhone pictures I think!

{Day 005 – January 05, 2016}

Today was back to reality. Christmas break was over and it was time to head back to work. I really do love where I work. It’s always a great thing when you can go to work each day, and know that at some point during the day you will be laughing so hard you cry! My work family is THE BEST.

{Day 006 – January 06, 2016}

The very last glow of Christmas 2015.

{Day 007 – January 07, 2016}

Today was a day full of Jury Duty. It was my first time called in Texas. I didn’t have to sit on a jury for a trial, but I did have to go through the questioning and selection process. The Tarrant County Historical Court House is beautiful.

Once again, I’ve fallen off the #CatchtheMoment365 wagon. I don’t know why I’ve had so much trouble getting my real camera out and taking pictures daily. I do have picture on my phone though – which I suppose are better than nothing! So here is week 21’s photos!

Day 143 | May 23, 2014

Kyle was out late Friday night so I told Lennox we could have a little slumber party in my bed. It lasted until about 10:15 and she just wouldn’t go to sleep – so off to bed she went. Either way, she had fun staying up late with Mommy!

Day 144 | May 24, 2014

Lennox was Daddy’s little snuggle bug today. She sometimes gives him the cold shoulder, so it’s nice when she decides to actually snuggle!

Day 145 | May 25, 2014

Kyle was at the Colonial Golf Tournament today so Lennox and I did some birthday party shopping, big girl bed shopping and then got some lunch before heading back home.

Day 146 | May 26, 2014

Lennox really wanted to see The Amazing Spiderman 2! She enjoyed the movie – minus the love story party – she wished Spiderman and Electro were in it the WHOLE time!

Day 147 | May 27, 2014

A sure sign that you have a girl – when it’s bath time and all you can see is a naked Barbie doll!

Day 148 | May 28, 2014

I missed today – so I’m stealing a picture from yesterday – Silly girl in the bath tub!

Day 149 | May 29, 2014

Today was the Last Day of the normal school year. Lennox starts summer school on Monday but she looks so big here. She has changed a lot this year!Check out all the other bloggers joining in by heading over to Sarah’s blog at Nurse Loves Farmer and don’t forget to keep snappin’!

This week consisted of iPhone photos only. I somehow didn’t pick up my dSLR all week – I’ve been really busy at work this week and Lennox has been in a mood most of the evenings, so it just hasn’t worked out! Either way, I got some pictures and joining in for week SEVENTEEN of the Catch the Moment 365 project.

Here is week 17!

Day 115 | April 25, 2014

TGIF! Today was a beautiful day so we spent some time outside with our neighborhood friends! Notice how Lennox is wearing sweatpants, a tutu and short sleeve shirt – it was about 80 degrees outside too! She dressed herself.

Day 116 | April 26, 2014

Before heading off to EdgeFest and Lennox to her Aunt & Uncles house for the day – we went to our Saturday tradition of Cracker Barrel. Today we let Lennox pick out a new stuffed toy to bring with her for the day. She picked out this big eyed unicorn, named Magic. It’s her new best buddy!
Also – this picture – I didn’t plan on taking it but she stopped and asked me to take a picture!

Day 117 | April 27, 2014

Oops! Photo is missing!

Day 118 | April 28, 2014

Tonight we spent a little extra time loving on our pup Daisy Mae. Her cousin, Maxwell, went to doggy heaven today. So very sad to hear the news – he was the best boy pup around and I will miss his crazy self, fluffy hair and cuddles. RIP Maxwell.

Day 119 | April 29, 2014

We had to stop at Target after school today. Lennox would NOT get off the outdoor furniture and kept loudly asking for me to take pictures of her.. she is such a nut and I think everyone there thought I was nutty too!

Day 120 | April 30, 2014

Today is school picture day! Although Lennox wears a uniform to school each day, only class picture day is when you have to wear a uniform on picture days. This one was individual pictures so it was a free dress day – so of course we picked out a cute outfit for her to wear – She is stylin’ in her Lily Pulitzer dress – usually in the $60 price range – I got it at Just Between Friends Fort Worth for $4!

Day 121 | May 1, 2014

Happy May! Today was my co-workers birthday (which she didn’t tell us about – but I saw it on FB). So we put together a little surprise for her while she stepped away from her desk! I think she really enjoyed her Martha Stewart cake, flowers and chocolate truffles!I really am trying to get better at this again, I don’t know what my deal is! I just have to get more organized and re-motivated! I’m going to #SoFabCon14 next week – maybe that will motivate me!
